If I practiced enough or got the right type of training, would I technically be able to sing well like some of our greatest singers? Is there an anatomical difference in their vocals cords that differentiates singers from people who cant sing?

From what I’ve seen in this discussion, it doesn’t seem to address the people who can “just sing”, at least much better than most, without any training or practicing. It’s kind of akin to how some people are born smarter, so yes physiologically different. No matter how much I practiced, I would never become a good singer…I might clean up my pitch some, but it won’t be a pleasing singing voice.
yes anyone can (provided they dont have like a biological alteration that makes them unable to like some sort of mouth injury or what not)
The trick to being a good singer (outside of any sort of singing without instrumentation or music) is making your voice work with the flow of the music. That can be done with ANY type of voice because theres pretty much a huge array of types of music that people will want to listen to.
For example if youre a dude but your voice is feminine and very high pitched, you can still sing if youre singing songs where it requires a masculine voice with more feminine touches, and vice versa.
Same with the lingustic side of things like accents: some people might not be able to sing like adele, but they were raised in the south and have the perfect accent for country music.
Another example is rap: most rappers aren’t even singing, its just their normal voice, BUT its how they use their voice to flow with the rhythm, otherwise known as their “flow” a good rapper needs good flow otherwise they aren’t a good rapper.
Most of it just really is time, practice, and learning how to apply your voice to the music that youre singing it for. So anyone can sing (depending on which singing youre doing) because its about the music behind the singing in combination with the singers ability to match their voice to the music, that makes a person a good singer

I always think of a human singing like a instrument playing. An untrained singer is a instrument that is out of tune. It takes hard work, proper professional training and practice to get it in tune.
I would imagine if you had the time and resources, you can do it. Most people choose not to and naturally, they cannot sing.
I have a friend from my work who became a singer in her late 30s, she sings in a band now and always gets good reviews. She always said she didn’t think she could but she met a trained vocal coach and now she can hold a nice range. She sings very frequently to train those muscles and she is very good at it.
So bottom line: anything can be accomplished if you put the time and effort in.

I always thought tone and a person’t hearing were huge factors. If a person cannot distinguish tonal values, how will they be able to be a ‘good’ singer? even with throat muscle ability??

I remember my music teacher speaking about this. People can be trained to expand their range and hold notes, but not everyone has a good timbre (actual voice). It’s why singers with unusual actual voices can sometimes become popular, such as Amy Winehouse and Louis Armstrong!
